  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Old sayings about days for getting married:-
    "Monday for wealth;
    Tuesday for health;
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for losses;
    Friday for crosses;
    And Saturday is no day at all."
    It is said that if you cried on New Year's Day you would cry every day during the year.
